Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer stated in the past 29 minutes that Democrats will not advance a funding bill including DHS provisions, according to Axios reporter Jake Sherman on X at https://x.com/JakeSherman/status/2015210972009410861, heightening government shutdown risks on Friday amid opposition over ICE's fatal shooting in Minneapolis on Jan. 24. House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Garbarino requested testimony from ICE Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Director Todd Lyons, CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott, and USCIS Director Joseph Edlow at a full committee hearing for oversight, as reported by Fox News reporter Chad Pergram on X at https://x.com/ChadPergram/status/2015212213590688024. Garbarino said Congress must ensure the agencies fulfill their mission to protect the homeland and use provided resources effectively. Schumer's announcement follows X posts in the prior hour from Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), LBR (D) and House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) vowing to oppose DHS funding over ICE's actions, including the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti near Nicollet and 27th streets in Minneapolis at 9:05 a.m. CT on Jan. 24, per DHS confirmation at 5:42 p.m. UTC. Earlier opposition came from Sens. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), who cited ICE violence and demanded accountability before supporting the six-bill funding package, according to Axios reporters Jake Sherman and Andrew Desiderio on X.
